Over 10 cattle heads reportedly died after consuming chemically contaminated water in Banipur village in the district on Friday. Villagers alleged that the toxic waste was discharged into local water sources by nearby industrial units.
Outraged by the incident, several villagers gathered outside the suspected industrial units on Saturday morning and staged a protest, demanding accountability and compensation for the loss of livestock. However, no representatives from the units came forward to address the protesters.
